Hello from Chicago, as I just flew American Airlines’ brand new Boeing 787-9 Flagship Suite business class, on the 7hr50min flight from London (LHR) to Chicago (ORD), as part of my quick review trip. I was very much looking forward to this flight, as this represents American’s new long haul business class experience.
Admittedly I largely knew what to expect, since I’ve flown this exact seat before on other airlines. However, I’ve gotta say, I found the sum of the experience to be very good, as I particularly appreciated the upgraded Wi-Fi and the excellent service. For now, I’d argue that this sets the standard for business class among US carriers (though both Delta and United are planning new business class products).
Let me share my initial thoughts on this flight, and then soon I’ll have a full trip report…
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
